North Country Boy

CRAIG E. COBB recalls a wide array of memories from his youth growing up in the North Country of New York. Unforgettable characters, including Grandpa, Grandma, Craig's siblings, and his father and mother become as real and touching to us as they obviously were and are to Craig. Susan Cobb has graced these memories with skilled sketches, some of them whimsical, others stately and serious, but all in keeping with the text they echo and support. While political history may be written in decades and dollars and sense, personal histories like Craig's--the histories that matter most--are written in the seemingly small moments that we find ourselves remembering for the rest of our lives.
